You should receive the confirmation email generally within 15 minutes, although it may take up to several hours for you to receive the confirmation email.

            <div class="faq-answer">
            <p>There are several reasons why this could happen:</p><ul><li>If we don't have rooms available for the dates you want, the hotel may not show up in your search. You may want to try your search again without dates.</li><li>If you use the filters on the Search Results page to narrow your preferences, it's possible that you have filtered that hotel out of the listing.</li><li>Or you could be searching for a hotel for which this web site does not have negotiated rates. </li></ul><p>The best way to find a specific hotel is to filter by hotel name after performing a search in your desired location.</p>

            <p>The USA has implemented the new <a href="https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/">Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)</a> for all passengers to the USA who are travelling under the <a href="https://opodouk.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/opodouk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3249">Visa Waiver Program (VWP)</a> (ie can enter America without a visa). This <strong>includes all passengers in transit</strong> who are using the VWP to change planes in the USA en route to another country.</p><p><strong>All passengers to the USA will still be required to submit <a href="https://opodouk.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/opodouk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3267">APIS information</a></strong></p><p>Authorisation is normally immediate, but can take up to 72 hours. All passengers must have their own ESTA approval - this includes accompanied and unaccompanied children, regardless of age.</p><p>Due to the above potential delay in authorisation, the US Department of Homeland Security insists that travelers submit ESTA registrations <strong>at least 72 hours before</strong> their US-bound flights are scheduled to depart.</p><p>Other travelers:</p><p>If you need a visa to enter or transit through the USA, you don't need to apply for an ESTA.</p>
